What You Oppress, Eventually Conquers You
You carved your names on lands not yours,
With iron, blood, and sharpened laws.
You drew your borders through ancient homes,
Then called it peace, while looting thrones.
You came with Bibles and muskets alike,
And taught the wounded not to strike.
You spoke of order, wearing steel —
But left no room for us to feel.
China wept through a century’s chain,

LOVE CONQUERS ALL
THE SKY, ONCE BLUE, NOW BLEEDS WITH FIRE,
A HUSH HAS STILLED THE MORNING CHIOR.
THE OCEANS SIGH WITH BRINY BREATH,
AND WHISPER HYMNS OF ANCIENT DEATH.
THE TREES BOW LOW, THEIR LEAVES LIKE TEARS,
THEIR ROOTS GROWN DEEP WITH BURIED FEARS.
NO BIRD NOW DARES TO PIERCE THE GLOOM,
EACH BRANCH A CROSS, EACH HILL A TOMB.
THE SUN, A SWOLLEN,

Love conquers all
We fall not prey to ego’s ploy,
so we dwell in peace, full of joy.
Notice there’s no energy leak,
when dancing with love cheek to cheek.
The world external, we’ve let go,
having relinquished our ego,
yet we’re strong, not feeble and weak,
when dancing with love cheek to cheek.
Life is but a dream, played in jest,
wherein we’re ensconced in heart’s

Love Conquers All
Love don't expire
No date, no age
No race, nothing.
Love knows no bounds
No religion
No status.
Love never done
If wrong, accept
But never lost.
Love hope success
It persevere
Never detract.

Wings of Knowledge
A girl, with wings of knowledge spread,
Soars high above, where dreams are bred.
The world of books, a boundless sky,
Where she can learn, and reach so high.
On each page she reads, a feather bright,
Adds to her wings, taking flight.
With the knowledge gained, her spirit free,
She conquers fears, and she will be.
The world awaits, with open arms,
For

Love Conquers All
Love conquers all
But the hateful will fall
Where true love comes to call
It can drench a fireball
Like a flame in the night
For lovers, it shines a light
It may go out of sight
But deep within, it glows bright
In pure heart, it will glow
Like water, it will flow
And even

Love Conquers All
Love conquers all
It's often been said
But recently more now than ever
It's so very obvious
Wherever I turn
Love enters my every endeavour
Always been in love
With the joy of love
Since Janice, my first ever crush
Grade two it was
Remember it well
Her life is filled with love I trust
There's been others
Not that many
A couple have never left my heart
Stayed

I Miss the Love That Conquers the World
Peeling Roasted Peanuts
listening to the rain on a Saturday night
in April
the invisible sound
Knocks, shakes, wakes my heart
sleeping love
selfish, struggling for survival
scarred
I hug the old lover today
this woman in my arms
if i didn't choose
she will have no wounds
Before long, the scent of peanuts
the invisible scent
outside the window, the sound of rain late at night
becomes and spreads
street

Love Conquers the Mind
we sat down at the table
started eating
we had a pleasant conversation
I reminisced about the past with a friendly heart
enjoyed the meal
But the one who sat before me
Couldn't tell the story coherently
the message is truncated
scattered into the air
Uncle next to me whispered
--I was cured of tuberculosis
by her in a town
where there were no doctors and nurses
which

Love Conquers All
We met at a reception just by chance.
Could it have been some sweet love at first sight?
I gave her a long penetrating glance
Orange hair, shapely cheeks and lips red bright.
I smiled, and invited her to dinner.
She accepted, and I felt elated
A lavish bistro, sure was a winner.
How grateful I felt that we had dated.
A bottle

Love Conquers All
If asked to repeat a time-honored passage
I would say it is that “Love Conquers All,”
For, whatever the situation, it is the message
If asked to repeat a time-honored passage,
I'd pass this adage in my far-advanced age:
“Love Conquers All,” sends a clarion call,
If asked to repeat a time-honored passage
I would say it is that “Love Conquers All!”

True Love's Game
I'd bathe you in my Love,
sponsor you peace like a dove,
lotion you with my embrace,
so the sun's rays could kiss your face.
Though undeserving of what I give,
I'd teach you kindness, so you could receive,
be most vulnerable, cater to reciprocation,
appreciate me through this education.
I pride off my soulmate's teachings,
to share all I have, beyond
